Shaq's alter ego, DJ Diesel, will be on the turntables as Haunted Fest headliner

Shaquille O'Neal, known as DJ Diesel on the electronic dance music scene, will perform as the headliner at Haunted Fest, an immersive Halloween-themed event. The event, which moved from the Ohio Expo Center to KEMBA Live!, will be held at 6 p.m. on Oct. 25. Tickets for the all-ages show start at $59.99 and VIP ticket packages at $89.99.

He began spinning records as a college student in the 1980s. He's conducted the Boston Pops, recorded a platinum-selling rap album, performed at Lollapalooza and spearheaded major music festivals.

Most know him as four-time NBA champ Shaquille O'Neal, but on the electronic dance music (EDM) scene, he's known as DJ Diesel.

Giving new meaning to "the biggest DJ in the world," the 7-foot-1-inch O'Neal's alter ego is on deck to headline Haunted Fest, an immersive Halloween-themed experience. The event moved last year from the Ohio Expo Center to KEMBA Live!, where it is scheduled to take place at 6 p.m. Oct. 25.

O'Neal is described as such a captivating, high-energy DJ that Vanity Fair said of his sets, "This is Shaq's brain on fun!"

Haunted Fest is presented by Prime Social Group, creators of Breakaway Music Festival. The event has brought several brand-name EDM artists to Columbus over the years, including deadmau5, Alesso, Kaskade and Marshmello.
